If you are a fan of music, then you are familiar with Hofner
electric bass guitars.
The classic Hofner violin bass is the premier bass of Sir Paul McCartney. Even
while performing today, it’s rare that you see Mr. McCartney without one! Bass
Central understands the appeal of the Hofner and has a wide array of selections
available you. Take a look:

Hofner Ignition LTD Ed Sullivan Beatle Bass Vintage Sunburst
– You can play a classic-style Hofner just like Paul did when the Beatles
performed on the Ed Sullivan Show. This selection features vintage-style
pickups and is made from spruce ply top flame maple on the back and sides.

Sir Paul McCartney Ltd Union Jack Hofner Model – There were
only 20 of these fantastic bass guitars produced and you can find one online at
Bass Central. This is a special version of the ’62 reissue that features a
Union Jack painted on the top.

Lefty Hofner V64 Sunburst Spruce Top Flamed African Maple
Back & Sides – Looking for a Hofner that is not necessarily related to
McCartney? This Hofner is the new model for 2010. It features nickel-plated
tuners, neck binding, and three contour switches.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg! We have other selections
on hand that you won’t find in other stores. Take a look at our wide array of
electric bass guitars and place an order with us today.

Everyone knows that the bass is smooth and funky, but there
is no sound smoother or funkier than fretless bass. Many talented players have
picked up a fretless bass and rocked the bottom end, but some are more memorable
than others. Today, we thought we would run down a list of some of our favorite
fretless bass players.

Les Claypool – Many bass players look up to the talented and
eternally creative Les Claypool when thinking of some of their favorite bass
players of all time. This man has mastered the fretless bass so well that when
he plays, he transforms his bass into a magic machine!

Mick Karn – We’ve talked about this bass player before, but
it goes without saying that Mick Karn is hands down one of the best fretless
bass players. Whether he was playing with Japan or collaborating with legendary
musicians like Gary Numan, his slippery style is something that should be
cherished.

Victor Wooten – Naturally, fusion bass player Victor Wooten
is one of the best fretless bass players of all time. From his own records to
his work with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Wooten is known for his
versatile style that is both in the pocket and shining bright.

Are you interested in trying to harness the magic of a fretless bass? Bass Central is
proud to offer a wide selection of fretless electric bass guitars for your
needs. Whether you are looking for a brand new bass, an amp, or any other
conceivable accessory a bass player could use, our business is proud to provide
